While some women stick to the societal norms, and go with the flow, others never hesitate to raise their voices against this discrimination. And Bollywood actress, Vidya Balan comes in the latter category.

In a candid conversation with The Quint, Vidya Balan opened up about the double standards of the society and shared that how she faces it everyday. She revealed that her househelps never interrupt her husband, Siddharth, while he is on call, but they never mind interrupting her when she's in the same situation. Talking about the same, she shared:
"Siddharth and I were on the call at the same time. They don’t mind interrupting me but they mind interrupting Siddharth because I just think that they feel the man is working and the woman is not, doesn’t matter what I do. Somewhere I think at home, they feel it is okay now, we can ask the wife."
In an interview with the Film Companion, Vidya Balan had revealed why she doesn't work with her husband, Siddharth Roy Kapur. The Sherni actress had shared how she and her husband have gained success with a lot of hard work individually, and she doesn't want it to get diluted because someone might say that she had got whatever success because of her husband. Vidya had shared:
"I also think that I don't want anyone to reduce my achievements to saying this happened for you because of your husband because one has worked very hard to get here and as much as I love him, I don't want that to happen for either of us. It's very reductive in a lot of ways. People say na aapka toh production house hai na and I say mere pati ka hai, mera nahi hai, fark hai. They don't understand it."
